Virtual Industry Day: ERCIP Lake City Army Ammunition Plant Microgrid and Combined Heat and Power

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to questions raised during the LCAAP Virtual Industry Day, offering clarifications on various aspects of the upcoming solicitation.

• Duct Bank and Cabling Modifications: Modifications to duct banks, above-ground, or overhead electrical distribution cabling between B15 and distributed switchgears/substations are required. Specific details are available in the associated plans and specifications.
• Soil Abatement and Disposal: Attachment LC-4367C, "Environmental Review & Waste Management Instructions for Excavation Permits on Lake City Army Ammunition Plant," provides contact information and guidance for soils abatement and disposal, particularly concerning Superfund classification.
• Natural Gas Utility Coordination: The prime contractor is responsible for coordinating with the local natural gas utility provider. While the designer of record has initiated communication, ongoing follow-up during construction is necessary due to dynamic local conditions.
• CMMC Requirements: The acquisition mandates CMMC Level 2 self-certification. Contractors must have this certification verified in the SPRS prior to the solicitation being issued to access the CUI Technical Package. Furthermore, an offeror must possess a current CMMC Level 2 certification at the time of proposal submission and maintain it throughout the contract's life.
• Project Labor Agreement (PLA): The applicability of a PLA is under review, with the agency currently evaluating feedback from a PLA Market Survey.
• DPAS Rating: The awarded contract will include a DO-C2 rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS).
• Bid Due Date: The government acknowledges feedback regarding the tight bid due date and will consider the complexity of proposal preparation. Any changes to the due date will be communicated via an amendment.

These clarifications address key bidder concerns regarding technical requirements, environmental compliance, security mandates (CMMC), and contract administration. The government will consider feedback on the proposal response time and formalize any changes through an amendment.
